Title: Improvements in Apparatus for use in Advertising and Indicating Names of Stations
Inventor: COUPETTE PAULIN
Filed: 1904-06-06
Granted: 1905-01-19
Abstract: 12,768. Coupette, P. June 6. Indicators, station.-Relates to apparatus for advertising and indicating names of stations. The sheets f, shown in Fig. 2, have advertisements printed on the front and names of stations on the back ; they are fastened on rods e, which are preferably made of elastic material and with pointed studs at their ends to fit in sockets in the discs d. The drum thus formed is moved by a ratchet-wheel g, driven by levers and a pawl, and an electric bell may be suitably connected with the levers. The sheets are thus moved so that the names of stations are displayed through the opening b and the advertisements through the opening c. Two or more springs b slide on the sheets and prevent the falling-over of two at a time. This can be effected better by the device shown in Fig. 3. The motion is communicated by a vertically-sliding bar i, which is moved against the action of a spring k, and is pivotally connected to a lever l to which is pivoted the pawl m for moving the drum. The spring pawl n prevents backward rotation. At the sides of the ratchetwheel g is another ratchet-wheel o with teeth running in the opposite direction. When the wheel g has moved forwards the requisite amount, the lever l acts through a spring t on an arm s of the pawl q, which is pivoted on a stud r in the casing, and thus forces the pawl q into the teeth of the ratchet o, against the action of the spring p.

Granted: 1906-02-03
Abstract: 2255. Geuze, L. Oct. 28, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Charging.-In blast furnaces having either a central or a lateral gas discharge, the extent of the fall of the charge is reduced by carrying the trucks on a hoisting-carriage which is tipped with the truck at the furnace mouth, and a more uniform distribution of the charges is ensured by effecting a stepby-step rotation of the hopper white successive trucks have been discharged into it. The truck c, Fig. 1, is secured by a catch z to the hoisting- carriage b, which is hauled by a cable along an inclined plane a, having two lines of rails of different gauges. At the top the front wheels of the carriage roll upon the bent-over ends of the inner set of rails, while the back wheels continue to run upon the straight rails, so that the carriage is inclined and the truck c discharges into the hopper d. Both the hopper and the cone m are mounted with ball or roller bearings i<1>,f upon circular rails and can revolve about the vertical axis of the furnace, hydraulic or sand joints e, f being provided to prevent the furnace gases from escaping. The joint f allows the vertical movement of the cone m. The intermittent circular movement of the hopper and cone is obtained from the pinion h, which is driven, as shown, by the pulley g ; the bevel-wheel is mounted with pawl-and-ratchet connexion, and revolves only during the descent of the carriage b. In a modification, the joints e, f are dispensed with, the hopper d, Fig. 5, and the cone m do not revolve, and the charges are emptied into a hopper y, mounted and actuated in the same way as the hopper d, Fig. 1, but divided into compartments provided with doors o, which may be opened either automatically or by hand. The lower end of a rod k, attached to the hopper y, moves in a circular path l having a raised portion which obliges the rod to rise and fall. The doors are connected to chains fixed to pulleys p, which are attached to shafts q coupled together by universal joints. As the rod k rises, a chain, connecting the upper part of the rod with the pulleys p, causes the doors to open, when the compartments of the hopper discharge their contents into the lower hopper d.
